My macbook pro mid 2015 is running on OS 10.13.06 and since last week the preview app is crashing after opening. Can someone please share insights on this or share the solution to fix this.
Thanks.

If the above doesn't work, do a backup, preferable 2 backups on 2 separate drives.
Quit Preview.
Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J. When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder. Remove the following. You may not find them all. Restart and test.

Saved Application State/com.apple.Preview.savedState
